Holiday en Plien Air Workshops

JoElle from Island Bay

En Plein Air Workshops
Want to get outside and do some sketching and painting? This short series of workshops will run on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10am to 4pm. Jan. 11, 13, 18, 20, 25 and 27. Each workshop we will warm up with some sketching and drawing techniques and afterwards we’ll get the paints out and go for it with watercolour, (although you are welcome to work in your preferred medium). There are six workshops in total and registration is flexible. Choose whichever dates suit your schedule. We will work on location as many days as the weather permits. We have the studio as a backup plan or cool indoor spots like the Begonia House. Beginners and all levels of experience are welcome. Get in touch and join us for some fun. kiaora@southcoaststudionz.com 021519920 www.southcoaststudionz.com...

FREE 10-liter emergency water bottles

Michael from Newtown

Merry Christmas -

I have around twenty, empty 10-liter distilled water bottles to serve as emergency water storage. I saved them for my friends, but they already have their own water supplies. Take as many as you like. Please respond to this notice if you are interested.

Best wishes - Michael

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
